A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 31 Opened Eyes.

A tall and burly elderly man in his seventies walked over with a smile.

It was none other than the head of the underground world of Walund’s Southern Region- Theoden Wahlstrom.

He made his debut when he was fifteen and became a follower of Dominic Johnson. When he was in his twenties, he was forced to return to his hometown-Bellridge-to develop because of an incident. By the time he reached his thirties, he had conquered the underground world of five states in Southern Region.

Three years ago, he was poisoned with a deadly poison, and Finnegan cured him.

Finnegan’s gaze darted from the glowering Alisha to Theoden, who walked over with all smiles. Finnegan asked, “Hey, I was sure… How is it you only have a few months left to live?”

Upon closer inspection, Finnegan realized Theoden was surrounded by a dark aura, despite being energetic. It was a sign the latter was dying soon.

Although ancient medical practices focused on the skills of observation, listening, questioning, and feeling, observing the patient’s facial features was a compulsory course. And with the legendary techniques of Primordial Pharmacopoeia given by his mentor, Finnegan could instantly tell Theoden was surrounded by a death aura.

The smile on Theoden’s face was stiff. “Dr. Larkin, I admit I’ve sent Alisha to trick you before, but you mustn’t joke about this.”

If someone else had said the same thing. Theoden would have lost his temper. Since Finnegan was the one who said it, the former felt uneasy.

Alisha chimed in, “Mr. Larkin, please don’t frighten my grandpa.”

“I’m not joking. Originally, your grandpa is able to live until he’s ninety years old, but now he only has three to five months left to live,” Finnegan said grimly.

Realizing Finnegan was not joking, Alisha asked nervously, “Grandpa, do you feel uncomfortable?”

Theoden thought carefully and said, “I’ve been feeling great ever since Dr. Larkin treated met three years ago. I don’t even have any minor illnesses. Dr. Larkin, is there really something wrong with me?”

“Come here.”

At that, Theoden moved closer to Finnegan, feeling uneasy.
